I shall be listing my exact ingredients, but if you wish to increase the quantity, you let me know so that i can give some tips if needed, or better still add them carefully so that you do not get the quality wrong.

^{NB: This meal was made for just a single consumer.}

---

• 2 packs of Indomie Instant Noodles or any great instant noodles in your country.

• 1 cube of maggi and a pinch of salt (NB: do not addon the seasoning content that comes with the Indomie product. But if you must, then forget about getting maggi and salt).

• 0.2 litre of palm oil (groundnut oil is a better substitute).

• 1 sizeable onion.

• 2 sizeable tomatoes

Ingredients	Cost
Indomie Packs (2)	500 FCFA (~0.83 STEEM)
Maggi (1)	10 FCFA (~0.02 STEEM)
Salt (a pinch)	? (Almost free)
Palm oil (0.2 L)	240 FCFA (~0.4 STEEM)
Onion (1 sizeable)	100 FCFA (~0.2 STEEM)
Tomatoes (2 sizeable)	100 FCFA (~0.2 STEEM)

THE PROCESS

The first thing to do is to put 0.5 litre of water in a clean pot to boil. This should take about 5 minutes to be achieved.

While waiting, you can wash your tomatoes and peel your onion. Slice them the way you like it, and also unwrap the cube of maggi you got. If you are to use the seasoning which comes with the indomie packs, i advice that you forget about the cube of maggi to avoid too much taste in the food.

Once the water is boiling, take the pot down and mount your frying pan on the gas, with your oil in it.

Heat the oil for 5-7 minutes with the pan closed to reduce choking from fumes (If using groundnut oil, heating should last for just a minute tops). Make sure to utilize your time by dropping the noodles in the pot of boiling water and cover for 20-30 seconds, then remove and deep in cold water for 5-10 seconds. Do all these while the oil been heated.

Once the oil is heated enough (about 6 minutes for palm oil, and 1 minute tops for groundnut oil), take down the pan and pour in the sliced tomatoes and onion. Muddle it with a wooden spoon as you place it on the gas cooker once more. Make sure your flames are reduced to avoid burning the chopped tomatoes and onion, and it should be cooked in about 6-8 minutes time.

Now you can empty the pot with was used to boil water, and place it on the gas cooker after taking down the frying pan containing a sauce like mixture.
^{Remember that you kept aside some noodles, and you haven't spent up to 15 minutes with all this processes if you managed your time well. Also, having 2 cooking burners will serve you even more time.}

Now, pour the content of the frying pan into the pot, followed by your noodles. Use the wooden spoon to stir even more, but gently. Avoid using anything other than a wooden spoon, so as to keep the noodles as whole as possible. Do this for 2-3 minutes, after which you can turn off the gas cooker and take out your meal from the pot.

Final Outcome

^{BON APPETITE 😋}
